Christmas Deception

(Jeremiah 10:1-4) "Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:  {2} Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.  {3} For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.  {4} They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not."

(Deuteronomy 12:29-32) "¶ When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;  {30} Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.  {31} Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.  {32} What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it."
